Bonnie McKee:

I’ve been sort of an undercover superhero, or something like, I would go out to a bar and like, a song that I wrote would be playing, and like no one has any idea I co-wrote that, I was a part of that. It means so much to me that people have connected with the songs that I’ve co-written because I get to be a part of their history. I get to be a part of their coming of age. I’ve had people tell me that the song that I co-wrote with Katy, “Roar,” got them through their divorce or, you know, inspired them to get in shape, or battle cancer. Like people have these really heavy stories associated with these songs, and that is why I do what I do is really connecting with the fans. I mean, it really feels like I did this with the fans, like this album is curated for the fans, by the fans, and I feel like they’ve been with me every step of the way. They encouraged me. They picked the song, and so to see it debut at No. 2 on the iTunes Pop Chart was unbelievable. I really did not see that coming. To have my name right under Taylor Swift was like, mind-blowing. So I’m just incredibly grateful. I did not expect that at all. I was just happy to have it out, but to have that kind of a welcome debut, I was like, holy sh–…

Pharrell is going to the big screen with his biopic in a Lego movie, the Plain White T’s react to Drake’s “Wah Gwan Delilah” and Ray J discusses how different life would have been if he never hooked up with Kim Kardashian.

Tetris Kelly:

Pharrell tells his life story in Lego, Drake’s “Wah Gwan Delilah” gets reviewed and Ray J is to thank for OnlyFans? Here’s three things you need to know today. Ray J thinks that his sex tape with Kim Kardashian may have led to the creation of OnlyFans. While on the Club Shay Shay Podcast, Shannon Sharpe asked how different the Kardashians lives would have been had their Triple X tape not leaked. Listen, I’m sure OnlyFans would still exist, but maybe people see it as a more viable career path after that. Pharrell is heading to the big screen, but he’s looking a little different these days. ‘Piece by Piece’ is a biopic reimagined with Legos. It features a superstar cast of musical talent. I was not expecting this kind of movie. But hey, I’m in and we know the soundtrack is going to be stacked. If you were confused by Drake’s new song with Snowd4y, you’re not the only one. The Plain White T’s listened to the new collab and couldn’t believe their ears. All I gotta say is no comment.
